## Resource

A Russian missile struck a train in western Ukraine near the Polish border—just hours after former UK PM Boris Johnson and top European security leaders rode the same line from Kyiv. No one was hurt, but the engine was destroyed. Russia claims it targeted “railway infrastructure,” but Johnson questioned the logic of hitting an empty train so close to the border, using the incident to push for more air defense for Ukraine. Poland’s PM confirmed a drone strike near their border too. This isn’t new: Ukraine’s rail system has been repeatedly hit, killing dozens—including six workers in Kyiv this month and five in January. With air travel grounded since 2022, trains are vital for millions; disrupting them cripples daily life and national resilience. The message is clear: Russia will go to extreme lengths to destabilize Ukraine—and now, the focus is on equipping Ukraine to defend itself.
